*Zayn's apartment; 11:30am*

ZAYN: Hey uh.. Louis? Are you Busy?

LOUIS: um nope not really, oh! That reminds me I was going to call you later about the whole case thing, head quarters over at Holmes chapel approved you,and I got the flight tickets scheduled for this Friday at 5pm well be there by staurday morning over there.

ZAYN: Really?! That's amazing Louis thanks! I don't know what I would do with out you honestly.

LOUIS: No sweat it. So what did you want to ask me?

ZAYN: oh yeah, so I was doing a bit of investigating last night since I couldn't sleep, and well can you please get me some back ground information on Liam Payne?

LOUIS: Liam Payne? The article writer?

ZAYN: yeah I guess it sounds stupid, but I you know everyone could be a known suspect.

LOUIS: okay sure, so anyone else?

ZAYN: yeah, can you get me some information on Harry Styles? and Niall Horan please.

LOUIS: Sure , I'll get right on it.

ZAYN: oh and Louis you don't have to rush with all that, we do have a couple of months to solve the Case so don't worry on that now.

LOUIS: I was going to tell you the Same thing, okay well let me look for some flats we could stay at over in Holmes Chapel for the time being.

ZAYN: alright Louis, bye.

LOUIS: bye Zayn.

I hang up the phone and place it on the counter.

I guess I should take my own advice and take it slow. We haven't even left to check out the Crime scene and I'm already suspecting a few possible people.

I let out a sigh and walk out into my balcony lighting a smoke. As I inhale I feel the smoke clouding my lungs making me feel ten times better than I did before. I Exhale and watch the ring of smoke fly into the air calming me more.

After a few more drags, I let it fall on the cold hard cement ground and stomp on it.

*Friday; 6:00pm on plane*

I look out the window of the plane, admiring the wonderful view below us. Louis is sitting right next to me using his laptop to watch a couple of movies. Suddenly he pauses it, and goes through his messenger bag taking out three file folders.

"I almost forgot to give you these Zayn,these are the files you were asking me for a couple of days ago." He says handing me them.

"Oh thanks Louis." I smile. He nods and puts he earphones back on and Un pauses the movie.

I open up the file on Liam Payne.

LIAM PAYNE.

"So he's my age then." I mutter to myself. I close his File and look at the other two. "I'll read these later." I say before stuffing it into my own Brief Case.

*Holmes Chapel, Cheshire; 9:00am, Zayn & Louis' flat*

"Here's our Flat." Louis grins carrying his suit cases with him. I look at the flat from the outside and nod my head in approval. Louis did a pretty good job on finding a flat on such short notice.

As we enter the building, it is fully furnished. "Damn Louis, how much did all of this cost?" I say dropping my luggage on the wooden floor.

"Actually, nothing." He smiles.

I raise up my eyebrow,clearly confused."what do you mean nothing?"

"Yeah headquarters from here gave us this apartment as a gift for us, for trying to help solve this murder."

"Oh." I nod my head as I pick my bags up again and walk up the stairs. I look around the decent looking flat, not bad. I enter a bedroom and set my luggage down on the bed. The room is pretty big compared to the rest of the rooms. I'm actually surprised Louis didn't pick this one.

As I take out all my clothes and hang them neatly in the closet something catches my eye while I turn around. A note neatly folded on the night stand next to the bed. With something scribbled on the cover of the note. My name.

I grab the note and open it up.

Detective Malik,

Thank you and your assistant Louis Tomlinson for trying to help us solve the case of Black Hill Manor. I hope you like the flat you'll be staying at for the time being. This will be the room you'll be staying at. Enjoy.

I close the note and place it in my dresser.

After I'm done unpacking I meet up with Louis in the living room.

"Ready to check out the manor?" I question him putting on my black long. Cotton coat.

"Yeah.. Let's go." He says putting on his coat as well.
